FIFA 23: Ones To Watch Promo Announced

The annual promo is back once again.

First released in FIFA 17, the Ones To Watch (OTW) promo returns with a new a team, squad building challenges (SBCs) and objectives.

What Are Ones To Watch?

In case an OTW player changes clubs during the season and receives an IF at their new clubs, their OTW item will be updated with the player’s new club and latest IF rating.
